Srinivasan mum on Lalit Modi’s claims

Chennai: His bete noire Lalit Modi may be on a ‘revelation’ spree making one allegation after another on social media, but N. Srinivasan remains unfazed.The ICC chairman on Sunday refused to react to the former IPL chairman’s allegation that Srinivasan had asked Arun Jaitley to “strongly oppose” a few contentious parts of the National Sports Bill, including the provision to bring the BCCI under the Right to Information (RTI) Act.

“I have never responded to his allegations nor will I do in the future,” said Srinivasan, on the sidelines of inaugurating a golf facility here. Srinivasan, who returned from ICC’s annual conference in Barbados, said the ICC Board made amendments to the ICC playing conditions with an aim to strike a balance between bat and ball. “I hope the ODI cricket remains as entertaining as it was during the 2015 World Cup,” he said.
